🔥 CHANGES by inlining SVG only

Inline <img src="icon.svg">:
- OLD: replaces <img> with <svg> tag
- NEW: inline SVG as base64-encoded data URL. Use new svg.inline.embed = true option to keep old behavior.
Encoding of data URL:
- OLD: defaults, escaped URL (#% chars only), e.g. data:image/svg+xml,<svg>...</svg>
- NEW:
  - defaults, base64 encoded, e.g. data:image/svg+xml;base64,iVBO...
  - full escaped URL, e.g. data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20... regards generator.dataUrl.encoding option.

✨ Features

Added support the ?inline URL query to force inline an image as dataURL in HTML, JS and CSS. The encoding can be specified using a query value (base64 or escape):

<img src="./icon.svg?inline"/>        --> src as data URL regards configured encoding, defaults base64
<img src="./icon.svg?inline=base64"/> --> <img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2Zy..."/>
<img src="./icon.svg?inline=escape"/> --> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20...%2F%3E"/>

Added support the ?embed URL query to replace <img> with <svg> tag kipping img attributes:
```
<img class="icon" src="./icon.svg?embed"/>
```
Result:
```
<svg class="icon" ...>...</svg>
```
When inlining SVG as a data URL, consider Webpack's generator.dataUrl() and generator.dataUrl.encoding options.
Display a warning when used ?embed URL query for SVG files in JS or CSS.

New svg plugin option:

type SvgOptions = {
  enabled?: boolean;
  // RegEx to match SVG files.
  // Defaults `/\.svg/i`.
  test?: RegExp;
  inline?: {
    // Enable inline SVG by replacing <img> with <svg>, only in HTML.
    // Equivalent to query: `?inline=embed` | `?embed`.
    // Defaults `false`.
    embed?: boolean;
    // Data URL encoding, overrides `generator.dataUrl.encoding` option.
    // Equivalent to query: `?inline=base64` | `?inline=escape`.
    // Defaults the `generator.dataUrl.encoding` option, if undefined then `base64`.
    encoding?: 'base64' | false;
  };
};

BREAKING CHANGES

Minimum supported Node.js version 18+.
The plugin may works on the Node.js >= 16.20.0, but we can't test the plugin with outdated Node.js versions. GitHub CI test works only on Node.js >= 18. Many actual dev dependencies requires Node.js >= 18.
Minimum supported Webpack version 5.81+.

The plugin option property is not static anymore:

OLD (up to v3.x)

class MyPlugin extends HtmlBundlerPlugin {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    super({ ...options });
  }
  init(compiler) {
    // MyPlugin.option. ...; <= was as static property
  }
}

NEW (since v4.0)

class MyPlugin extends HtmlBundlerPlugin {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    super({ ...options });
  }
  init(compiler) {
    // this.option. ...; <= now is non static property
  }
}

Using the addProcess() plugin method is changed:

OLD (up to v3.x)

class MyPlugin extends HtmlBundlerPlugin {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    super({ ...options });
  }
  init(compiler) {
    // the method was as property of the static `option`
    MyPlugin.option.addProcess('postprocess', (content) => {
      return content;
    });
  }
}

NEW (since v4.0)

class MyPlugin extends HtmlBundlerPlugin {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    super({ ...options });
  }
  init(compiler) {
    // now is the class method
    this.addProcess('postprocess', (content) => {
      return content;
    });
  }
}

DEPRECATIONS

The watchFiles.files option has been renamed to watchFiles.includes.
The files option is still supported but is deprecated. It's recommended to replace the files with includes in your config.
The watchFiles.ignore option has been renamed to watchFiles.excludes.
The ignore option is still supported but is deprecated. It's recommended to replace the ignore with excludes in your config.

FEATURES

feat: add support the multiple webpack configuration:

const path = require('path');
const HtmlBundlerPlugin = require('@test/html-bundler-webpack-plugin');

      path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist/web1/'),
    },
    plugins: [
      new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
        entry: {
          index: './web1/views/home.html',
        },
      }),

fix: serialization issue when used the cache.type = 'filesystem'
fix: missing output js files after second run build when used the cache.type = 'filesystem'

3.4.11 (2024-01-22)

fix: error by resolving url() in the CSS file defined in the entry option

3.4.10 (2024-01-16)

3.4.6 (2024-01-02)

fix: the pathData.chunk.name is undefined when the js.filename is a function, this bug was introduced in 3.4.5

3.4.5 (2024-01-01)

fix: the pathData.filename is undefined after changes when the js.filename is a function

3.4.4 (2023-12-28)

fix: fatal error when using the handlebars preprocessor (introduced in v3.1.2)
fix: access @root variables in hbs partial helper inside the each block

3.1.2 (2023-11-24) DEPRECATED: the critical bug by using the handlebars preprocessor is fixed in the v3.1.3

fix: access @root variables in hbs partial helper inside the each block

3.1.1 (2023-11-23)

fix: define js.test field in types.d.ts as optional

3.1.0 (2023-11-22)

feat: add support for the template function in JS runtime on the client-side.
For example:
```
import personTmpl from './partials/person.ejs';

// render template function with variables in browser
document.getElementById('person').innerHTML = personTmpl({ name: 'Walter White', age: 50});
```
Template function works with preprocessors: ejs, handlebars, nunjucks.
Note: The eta (default preprocessor) doesn't support template function in JS on the client-side, use the ejs instead.

feat: add CSS extraction from styles used in *.vue files.
For example, MyComponent.vue:

<template>
  ...
</template>
<script setup>
  ...
</script>
<!-- CSS will be extracted from the SCSS file into a separate *.css file -->
<style src="./style.scss" lang="scss"></style>
<!-- CSS will be extracted from the style tag into a separate *.css file -->
<style>
  h1 {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

test: update manual tests for using with the Eta version 3.x
docs: update readme for live reloading

3.0.0 (2023-11-07)

feat(BREAKING CHANGE): changed postprocess callback arguments and return
OLD:

postprocess(content: string, info: TemplateInfo, compilation: webpack.Compilation): string | null;

type TemplateInfo = {
  filename: string | ((pathData: PathData) => string);
  assetFile: string;
  sourceFile: string;
  outputPath: string;
  verbose: boolean | undefined;
};

When return null then the template processing was skipped.

NEW:
Removed properties: filename, verbose. Added properties: name, resource.

postprocess(content: string, info: TemplateInfo, compilation: webpack.Compilation): string | undefined;

type TemplateInfo = {
  name: string; // the entry name
  assetFile: string; // the output asset filename relative to output path
  sourceFile: string;  // the source filename without a query
  resource: string; // the source filename including a query
  outputPath: string; // output path of assetFile
};

When return null or undefined then the content stay unchanged by postprocess and will be processed in next hooks/callbacks.

feat: optimize postprocess callback option, moved from renderManifest sync hook to processAssets async hook
feat: add postprocess hook
feat: add beforePreprocessor hook
feat: add beforePreprocessor callback option
feat: add preprocessor hook
feat: add resolveSource hook
feat: add beforeEmit hook
feat: add beforeEmit callback option
feat: add afterEmit hook
feat: add afterEmit callback option
feat: add possibility to create own plugin using the hooks: beforePreprocessor, preprocessor, resolveSource, postprocess, beforeEmit, afterEmit

feat: add the first plugin (plugin for bundler plugin :-) - favicons-bundler-plugin to generate and inject favicon tags for many devices.
For example:

const HtmlBundlerPlugin = require('html-bundler-webpack-plugin');
const { FaviconsBundlerPlugin } = require('html-bundler-webpack-plugin/plugins');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
      entry: {
        index: './src/views/index.html',
      },
    }),
    // add the plugin to extend the functionality of the HtmlBundlerPlugin
    new FaviconsBundlerPlugin({
      faviconOptions: { ... }, // favicons configuration options
    }),
  ],
};

If you use the favicons-bundler-plugin, you need to install the favicons module.

feat: add possibility to get output CSS filename in JS via import a source style file with the url query.
This feature allows the dynamic load the CSS in JavaScript, for example:

function loadCSS(file) {
  const style = document.createElement('link');
  style.href = file;
  style.rel = 'stylesheet';
  document.head.appendChild(style);
}

loadCSS(require('./style.scss?url')); // <= dynamic load the source style file with `url` query

feat: add js.inline.attributeFilter option to keep some original script tag attributes when JS is inlined.
For example, keep the id and text/javascript attributes by inlined <script id="my-id">...inlined JS code...</script>:

new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
  // ...
  js: {
    inline: {
      attributeFilter: ({ attributes, attribute, value }) => {
        if (attribute === 'type' && value === 'text/javascript') return true;
        if (attribute === 'id' && attributes?.type === 'text/javascript') return true;
      },
    },
  },
}

feat: add js.inline.keepAttributes option to keep some original script tag attributes when JS is inlined
feat(EXPERIMENTAL): add afterEmit callback, undocumented

fix(EXPERIMENTAL, BREAKING CHANGE): rename lazy query to url to get output URL of CSS

// your code to add the CSS file dynamically
function dynamicLoad(outputFilename) {
  const style = document.createElement('link');
  style.rel = 'stylesheet';
  style.href = outputFilename;
  document.head.appendChild(style);
}

dynamicLoad(require('./style.scss?url')); // <= dynamic load the style file with `url` query

chore: add usage example of image-minimizer-webpack-plugin

2.16.0-beta.0 (2023-10-21)

feat(EXPERIMENTAL): add possibility to get output CSS filename in JS via import a style file with the lazy query.
DON'T use it for production, it is just EXPERIMENTAL undocumented feature!
This feature allows to lazy load the extracted CSS, for example:

function loadCSS(file) {
  const style = document.createElement('link');
  style.href = file;
  style.rel = 'stylesheet';
  document.head.appendChild(style);
}

loadCSS(require('./style.scss?lazy')); // <= dynamic load the source style file with `lazy` query

feat(EXPERIMENTAL): add beforePreprocessor hook, undocumented
feat(EXPERIMENTAL): add beforePreprocessor callback, undocumented
feat(EXPERIMENTAL): add preprocessor hook, undocumented
feat(EXPERIMENTAL, BREAKING CHANGE): rename undocumented experimental afterCompile callback to beforeEmit

2.15.0 (2023-10-18)

feat: add parsedValue argument as an array of parsed filenames w/o URL query, in the filter() function of the sources
fix(BREAKING CHANGE): for srcset attribute the type of the value argument is now string (was as Array<string>), in the filter() function of the sources
Note: for srcset attribute you can use the parsedValue as an array instead of the value, the value contains now an original string
docs: fix attributes type

2.14.4 (2023-10-12)

fix: correct attributes type in the filter() function of the sources loader option
refactor: improve code
docs: fix attributes type

test: add tests for new option beforePreprocessor
docs: update README

2.12.0 (2023-09-15)

feat: remove support for the webpack-subresource-integrity plugin, because it works not optimized and contains Webpack deprecated code
feat: add support for subresource integrity independent of other plugins. It was implemented own very compact, optimized and fast code to generate integrity for link and script tags.
feat(changed behavior): the integrity option defaults is now false (in v2.11.0 was auto using webpack-subresource-integrity plugin)
feat: extend the integrity option values with the object to pass additional hashFunctions option
refactor: optimize code and improve performance for html parsing
fix: remove comments of node module imported in dynamic imported chunks
fix: correct content hash in the output JS filename when license comment is removed
test: add tests for integrity
test: remove the test strategy for node 14 on GitHub because the generated hashed test filenames are different from nodes 16, 18, 20

chore: add handlebars-layout example
docs: update README

2.9.0 (2023-08-27)

feat(experimental): add support the Webpack cache.type as filesystem. This is yet an alpha version of the feature. You can try it, but if that doesn't work, just use the default cache.type as memory.
feat: remove the json5 dependency, take only the parser code from this package, remove unused code from it and optimize it for use with the plugin
fix: resolve output asset filenames without the needless index .1, like index.1.js, when used the same base filename for template and js files. For example, if the source files with the same base name src/index.html and src/index.js were used, then dist/index.html and dist/index.1.js were created, because the entry name used for compilation must be unique. This case is fixed.
test: add tests for features and fixes
test: remove unused code in test suits
chore: update dev dependencies
docs: update README

2.8.0 (2023-08-15)

feat: add watching for changes (add/remove/rename) in handlebars helpers without restarting Webpack
feat: change the default value of the hotUpdate option to false. This is not breaking change.
If you already have a js file, this setting should be false as Webpack automatically injects the hot update code into the compiled js file. Enable this option only if you don't have a referenced source file of a script in a html template.
docs: update README

2.7.0 (2023-08-13)

feat: add js.inline.chunk and js.inline.source options to inline only js chunks matching regular expressions

  },
  // new reference to the loaderOptions.data
  data: {...},
}),

The old syntax is still valid:

new HtmlBundlerPlugin({

fix: allow the partials values to be relative paths for the handlebars preprocessor
test: add tests for new features
docs: add description of new features

1.11.0 (2023-03-27)

feat: add the entry option value as a relative or absolute path to pages.
Template files matching the test option are read recursively from the path.
For example, there are files in the ./src/views/pages/

./src/views/pages/index.html
./src/views/pages/about/index.html
./src/views/pages/news/sport/index.html
./src/views/pages/news/sport/script.js
./src/views/pages/news/sport/style.scss
...

Define the entry option as the relative path to pages:

new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
  entry: 'src/views/pages/',
});

Internally, the entry is created with the templates matching to the test option:

{
  index: 'src/views/pages/index.html', // => dist/index.html
  'about/index': 'src/views/pages/about/index.html', // => dist/about/index.html
  'news/sport/index': 'src/views/pages/news/sport/index.html', // => dist/news/sport/index.html
}

The output HTML filenames keep their source structure relative to the entry path.

fix: display an original error stack by nested exceptions

1.10.0 (2023-03-26)

feat: add the data loader option to pass global data into all templates
Note: use the data property of the entry option to pass data only in one template

new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
  entry: {
    index: {
      import: './src/home.html',
      data: {
        title: 'Home', // overrides the `title` defined in the loader data
      },
    },
    about: './src/about.html',
  },
  loaderOptions: {
    data: {
      // <= NEW option to pass global variables for all pages
      title: 'Default Title',
      globalData: 'Global Data',
    },
  },
});

feat: add default template extensions: .njk.
The following default template extensions are now supported: /\.(html|ejs|eta|hbs|handlebars|njk)$/

feat: add preprocessor value as string nunjucks to use the preconfigured Nunjucks compiler (nunjucks package needs to be installed)

new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
  entry: {
    index: './src/views/pages/home.njk',
  },
  loaderOptions: {
    preprocessor: 'nunjucks', // <= NEW 'nunjucks' value
    preprocessorOptions: {
      // async: true, // defaults is false, to compile asynchronous templates set as true
    },
  },
}),

fix: handle unsupported value of the preprocessor option
refactor: optimize preprocessor code
chore: update dev dependencies
docs: add description of new features

1.9.0 (2023-03-21)

feat: add preprocessorOptions to the loader option to define a custom config for the default preprocessor.
For all options of the default preprocessor see https://eta.js.org/docs/learn/configuration#big-list-of-configuration-options.
Usage example:

new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
  entry: {
    index: './src/views/pages/home.html',
  },
  loaderOptions: {
    preprocessorOptions: {
      // root path for includes with an absolute path (e.g., /file.html), defaults is process.cwd()
      root: path.join(process.cwd(), 'src/views/'),
      // directories that contain partials, defaults is undefined
      views: [
        path.join(process.cwd(), 'src/views/layouts'),
        path.join(process.cwd(), 'src/views/partials'),
      ],
    },
  },
}),

feat: add resolving a template partial relative to template. For example, there are templates:
```
src/views/pages/home.html - the main template
src/views/pages/includes/gallery.html - the partial used in the main template
```
You can include the src/views/pages/includes/gallery.html partial in home.html using a relative path:
```
<%~ includeFile('includes/gallery.html') %>
```
feat: add default template extensions: .hbs and .handlebars.
The following default template extensions are now supported: /\.(html|ejs|eta|hbs|handlebars)$/
feat: add preprocessor value as string ejs to use the preconfigured EJS compiler (ejs package needs to be installed)
feat: add preprocessor value as string handlebars to use the preconfigured Handlebars compiler (handlebars package needs to be installed).
The preprocessorOptions has Handlebars.compile option plus additional options for the build-in include helper:
- root {string} - root path for includes with an absolute path (e.g., /file.html), defaults process.cwd()
- views {string|Array<strings>} - directory or directories that contain templates.
  For example:
  preprocessorOptions
```
{
  root: path.join(__dirname, 'src/views'),
  views: [
    path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/includes'),
  ],
}
```
  include a partial without an extension
  {{ include '/partials/footer' }} - the root path relative to defined in the root option
  {{ include 'gallery' }} - the relative path to defined in the views option
- The following extensions will be automatically resolved by default: .html, .hbs, .handlebars.
  Other options:
- partials {Object.<[name: string], [file: string]>} - Use the partials as an object to define partials manually.
  The key is a partial name, the value is an absolute path of the partial.
  For example:
```
partials: {
  gallery: path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/includes/gallery.html'),
  'menu/nav': path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/partials/menu/nav.html'),
  'menu/top/desktop': path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/partials/menu/top/desktop.html'),
},
```
- partials {Array<string>} - Use partials as an array of absolute paths to automatically find partials in these paths.
  Files with the following extensions will be found recursively in the given paths: *.html, *.hbs, *.handlebars.
  For example:
```
partials: [
  path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/includes'),
  path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/partials'),
],
```
  Note: the partial name is a complete relative path to a file without an extension. This is different from plugins, in which Id is a base directory and filename without extension.
- helpers {Object.<[name: string], function()>} - the key is a helper name, the value is the helper function.
fix: inline a style from the link tag with the attribute as="style", e.g.:
```
<link href="style.css?inline" rel="preload" as="style" />
```

fix: resolve a script in the link tag with the as="script" or the rel="modulepreload" attributes, e.g.:

<link href="script.js" rel="prefetch" as="script" />

<link href="script.js" rel="modulepreload" />

1.0.0 (2023-02-14) Stable release

Changes:

Defaults, HTML templates defined in the entry are processed via Eta (same EJS syntax) templating engine. If you have pure HTML file you can disable this processing to save the compilation time:

  {
    test: /\.html$/,
    loader: HtmlBundlerPlugin.loader,
    options: {
      preprocessor: false, // <= disable default processing
    },
  },

Features:

feat: add the default template loader in Webpack module.rule.
In most cases, the default loader options are used. You can omit the template loader in module.rule, then the default template loader will be added automatically:
```
{
  test: /\.(html|ejs|eta)$/,
  loader: HtmlBundlerPlugin.loader,
},
```
feat: add the Eta templating engine (smaller and faster alternative to EJS with same syntax) as the default preprocessor. If no preprocessor option is specified, Eta is used in the preprocessor.
